Yo Tyagi, 93,
>I say, besides the quasi-philosophy of Rabelais or the remnants Crowley
>used to fabricate his Thelema (such as Nietzsche, Augustine or whoever),
>and besides the offshoots which Crowley inspired, like Achad and Grant,
>are you aware of *any* writer who utilized the term 'Thelema' in their
>vocabulary in a religious or philosophic context, especially prior to
>Crowley's lifetime?
The Monks of Thelema, by Walter Besant and James Rice
first published in London by Chatto & Windus, 1878
Chapter One is interesting. It's downhill from there. None the less,
it meets your criteria (as stated above).
Have a nice day.
